1t looks as though the Preside

1t looks as though the President
will have to pass upon a new de-
pendent pensions bill. Returns of
the Grand Army vote upon the
question shows an overwhelming
majority in favor of such measure.
Out of 253, 274 votes cast over $780,
600 supported the dependent-pen-
sions scheme. A bill embodying
the veterans wishes will be submit
ted to Congress early in the next
session. 1t will be substantially the
same as the act vetoed last winter,
but will be framed to meet the
Presidents objections. The old
soldiers believe it is sure to pass and
become law.

The New York Times, urging a
reform in the immigration and nat
uralization methods, says that it is
not likely that there would be any
serious opposition to amending the
present laws by requiring a res
idence of ten or even fifteen years
instead of five before an alien can
become d citizen.

l anticipate big mining boom in the
West within the next year or two, and I
base my impression upon the fact that
these outbreaks occur every ten years.
In 1S49 it was California; ten years later
Pixies Peak was the Mecca of miners;
1869 saw Virginia City, Nev., become
prominent on account of wonderful
finds OF silver and gold, and in 1879 it
was Leadv1lle's opportunity. Just what
particular spot will be benefited in 1889
remains to be seen, but it would not
surprise me if it was located some-
where in Colorado, which is the rich
est state to-day in the Union. 9fll
Speaking of Colorado, reminds me
that very active canvass has already
been inaugurated looking to the return
of Hon. THOMAS NJ. BOWEN to the,
United States senate two years hence.
He is opposed to Messrs. HILL, TABOR
and TELLER, who would sooner see
any one else than BOWEN in that posi-
ton, and would stop at nothing to ac-
cOmplish his defeat. But although a
Democrat myself, know of no man,
outside of our own party, that would
sooner see in the senate than BOWEN,
for he is nearer to the people than any
of the other aSpirants. We do not think
that we can send our man to the senate,
and there need be no surprise if the
Democrats of Colorado follow in the
footsteps of Oregon and cooperate with
the Bowen men to send this represent
alive citizen back to the place. he now

call themselves, to fight for years, and
we have become used to them, and es-
pecially as they do not represent any

better off with them out of our councils,

GENTLY well to observe the necessity of
concession, and will, in the coming con-
gress, recede from the position which
he has so long maintained as an ultra
protectioniSt.
The great West has long demanded
that trade be less restricted, and the
truths which its representatives have
been continually DINING into the ears
of their Eastern brethren have at last
found lodgment. Practically the
whole country, save the few manufac-
cies, through selfish motives, still OBJ
tain, is in favor of tariff reduction, if
not of absolute free trade, and the peo-
pies representatives must naturally
take the same view.
That is why Mr.. RANDALL and his
adherentS are ready to meet their more
liberal brethren half way in scheme
for the reduction of the tariff. Relief is
demanded. and the people will not con-
sent to its being longer delayed. The
compromise suggested, while, of course,
involving mutual concession, will result
in marked reduction, and while per-
haps not thoroughly acceptable to the
out and out free trade advocates, will
go far toward satisfying the people at
large.
1t is much to be hoped that personal
and sectional jealousies will not inter-
fere with the speedy ratification after
congress assemblies of the compromise
upon which the party leaders have

Col. A. F. ROCKWELL, u. S. A.-By all
means let us give the president and Mrs.
CLEVELAND a rousing demonstration
when they visit ST. Paul, and on every
side hear nothing but this sentiment
advanced, irrespective of party affilia-
tons. Talking with gentleman to-
day was reminded by him of an Incl
dent that occurred at Washington dur
ing the troubulous times Of the electoral
commission. The scene occurred in the
United States supreme court room, at
the capitol, and while Senator Evarts
was making one of his famous long
speeches in support of HAYES and
WHEELER. Among the audience was the
venerable historian, GEORGE BANCROFT,
and the voice of the wiry senator from
New York soon lulled him into peace
full slumber.
While thus enjoying the mental feast
the late Senator MATT CARPENTER hap
pened to spy the attitude of Mr.. BAN
CROFT and in a whisper audible to many
of the throng he said: "See History sleep

spirit of discord entered the fraternity The
wicked Minneapolitan had scheme, but
needed money to develop it. He unfolded
his plan to DAMON and PYTHIAs, and dazzled
their eyes with the riches that would be in
store for all in case of success. They offered
their hearty cooperation. DAMON knew

to cultivate her acquaintance. The Minnea-
politan and PYTHIAs had a little, and
offered to s'put up'' for DAMON. the

St. Paul Council, No. CSC, was organ.
lied Feb. %, 1882, when the order was
little over four years old, and has kept
pace with the order as a whole in pro-

down. The charter memb ers were: w.

Hazard, Julius Hebron, w. I. Joy, @.
B. Kenyon, T. E. Manning and E. P.

No. 656 has been very fortunate from
the start, no death having yet occurred
in its ranks. Indeed in the whole state
there has been but one death loss, and
that half member whose estate, there
fore, drew $1,000. In the same period
the Minnesota councils paid out some
thing like SIT. in assessments. Hence
Minnesota stands first on the books in
the national order in regard to losses
paid in proportion to amount paid in.
The society has restricted operations
to territory free from epidemicS and so
has excluded the following states and
counties: The states of Texas, LOUISE
ana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida,
South Carolina, and that portion of
the Tennessee river; also that portion
of Southeastern Georgia bordering on
the Atlantic, included in the counties
of Chatham, Bryan, Liberty, McIn-
tosh, Glynn and Camden.
Three thousand dollars is the highest
amount paid ON the death of brother.

member, and $1,000 on the death of
every half-rate member. On the death

amount due on said death. The supreme
treasurer then forwards it to the treas
urer of the subordinate council of which
the deceased was member, and this
treasurer pays it to the person named in
the certificate.
The regent for Minnesota is W. j.

OCTOBER.

October is the month that seems
All woven with midsummer dreams:
She brings for us the golden days
That fill the air with smoky haze,
She brings for us the lisping breeze,
And wakes the gossips in the trees,
Who whisper near the vacant nest
Forsaken by its feathered guest.
Now half the birds forget to sing,
And half of them have taken wing,
Before their pathway shall be lost
Beneath the gossamer OF frost;
Now one by one the gay leaves fly
Zigzag across the yellow sky;
They rustic here ana fiutter there,
Until the bough hangs chill and bare.
What joy for us,-what happiness
Shall cheer the day, the night shall blessf
IT'S Halloween, the very last
Shall keep for us remembrance fast,
When every child shall duck the head
To find the precious pippin redl

THE PRESIDENTS RECEPTION


dents reception on the occasion of his
visit to st. Paul will be ready for publ
cation tomorrow. The general outlines
of the programme are given in the local
columns Of this mornings GLOBE, and
are substantially the arrangements that
will be agreed upon by the committees
in charge of the matter.
1t will be seen that a grand demon
Stration has been provided, and one that
will embrace some features that the
president will see in no other city ON
the line of his route. From the fact
that st. Paul is the only American city
that can make grand carnival display,
this is to be made the leading feature of
the demonstration in the presidents
honor when he visits this city.
A cordial invitation is extended by
the citizens of st. Paul to the people of
the entire Northwest to visit us on that
occasion and to assist US in entertaining
the chief magistrate of the nation.
This invitation is not confined to the
people of Minnesota alone, but is in
tended to include our good friends to
the west of US in Dakota, as well as our
neighbors across the Wisconsin and
Iowa lines.
Inasmuch as the carnival display is to
be made the chief feature of the demon
stration, all toboggan clubs of Minneso-
ia, Wisconsin, Dakota and Iowa towns,
and even over the line to Winnipeg, are
most cordially and earnestly invited to
turn out in uniform and join our local
clubs in the parade.
Owing to the fact that a great deal
has to be crowded into one evening, the
committee on arrangements wisely de-
termined that only the military and civic
organizations which appeared in uni
form should march in the procession.
This, however. does not deter or hinder
others who are not members of uni
formed companies from turning out and
being spectators, or otherwise partici-
pate in doing honor to the president.
1t is fairly well understood that when
the local pride of our people is once
aroused there is no limit to their enthu-
siasm and to their capacity for accom-
pliShing wonders. In this instance st.
Paul's local pride is aroused. The pres
ident will visit Chicago, St. Louis, In
dianapOlis, Madison and other cities be-
fore he reaches st. Paul. Those cities
are making all arrangements to put
their best foot foremost to give him
magnificent entertainment. There is
rapidly growing up rivalry between
all these cities as to which shall eclipse
the others. st. Paul has never yet
entered into competition with any other
city and been beaten.
The question with our people now is,
Shall we be surpassed on this Occa-
sion?
There is but one answer.
No.
There is no politics in this business.
1t is only an opportunity for the Ameri-
can people to testify their respect for
the chief magistrate of the nation.
With st. Paul pride and st. Paul
patriotism both aroused the presidents
visit ON the 10th inst. is to be an event
long to be remembered.
